La Milpa - You must come hungry because you will have a dish for Mole, you will end up so full that it will be your lunch and dinner! We will have an experience of flavors like you have never had before, with ingredients that you find in our state and that make us characteristic of all of Mexico and the world. In this experience you will try the 7 types of moles made exclusively for your delight, first we will cool off from the heat with a delicious fresh water.
We will continue testing the moles from the mildest or subtlest flavor to the strongest and with more ingredients (should I tell you that between moles we will have a kiss of mezcal so that you can appreciate the flavors to the fullest? hahaha; but don’t worry, we will always have water if you don’t drink; D), it should be noted that 5 of the 7 moles that you will try are almost impossible to find in restaurants because many are used for special occasions such as weddings, baptisms, XV years, marriage proposals and each one has earned its place in our culture and now culinary rituals that we have in the state, we will eat it in different presentations and thus you will discover each flavor so that when you leave you will be a taster of Oaxacan moles

Hector was our host for... - Hector was our host for the tour and his sister was the chef! He gave us so much interesting information about the history of Mexico, Oaxaca, and the cuisine! Then, we got to try each of the 7 moles with a bit of food(rice, chicken, etc), so you get plenty to eat! The moles were all SO good!! I would definitely recommend this experience if you want to learn more about mole and get to try it!
One thing to keep in mind, the GPS takes you to a slightly different house, go instead down the small side road, Hector's home is at the end of that road. We also had a little mix up with the start time (though it all worked out fine), but I would just recommend verifying the start time the day before.

Moles, Moles, Moles! - This experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Oaxaca. My suggestion--do not miss this very thorough, engaging, informative, and tasty introduction to the moles of Oaxaca. Hector was delightful and very knowledgeable about the area's history and culture. We learned about the nuances of the different recipes and the cultural significance of the moles. The moles were better than the moles we had at some of the "fancy" restaurants in town. Hector's descriptions, the presentation of the moles, and the location of the tasting (in a comfortable space in front of his home) were top tier. GPS seems a bit wonky and might take you a few doors from his place so if you take a taxi or Uber (as we did) you might have Hector explain to the driver his exact location. Highly recommend this delightful outing.

Great mole overview - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Hector does a great job of keeping everyone engaged. He has a creative way of showing how the moles are prepared without this being a cooking Class.
I would not recommend purchasing the unlimited Mezcal. It really isn’t that good of Mezcal and one shot is enough.

Loved the mole and experience - My boyfriend and I were the only ones with the guide, whose name I believe is Hector (I’m terrible with names). With us being the only two it was great to get that one on one experience and feel like we weren’t just a number. He was able to explain the origin and go over ingredients and would ask us to try and figure what ingredients or spices were what. Oswaldo the cook made the 7 moles and each were amazing. We had a great time! Would recommend this to everyone!

Fabulous experience - I did this in April and just realised I hadn't done a review. It was an amazing tasting and explanations of the different moles. Thoroughly enjoyed the way this experience was put together and would have no hesitation in recommending it.
